Richmond remaie Institute.

Next Wednesday the session of this
old institution will open its doors to
the public. The school Is an honor to
our city and State, and its large pa
tronago shows the estimation in which
it is held. Pupils come here from al
most every southern AMI western State,
and this year there will be an unusual
ly large attendance. Miss Hammer is
one OF our own Virginia women, who
has chosen as her life's work the edu-
cation of girls, and success has been
her reward Our public-spirited citi-
zens should exert themselves to build
up such attractive schools in our midst.

CINCINNATI, September The law
abolishing separate schools for colored
pupils in Ohio has been obeyed IN
some places by keeping colored schools
open as before, but designating them
as branches or district schools. At Le-
banon, O., upon the opening OF the
schools the colored teacher found him
self practically deserted, all his pupils
having gone to the white school Tor
enrolment. The same thing happened
at Oxford, o.. where white pupils have
become displeased with the invasion;
and some have left the schools until
the matter Is settled.

The City Democratic Committee at

This gives the Democrats Of the

there should be q thorough organiza-

1t is encouraging to see what pro-

direction. There have been formed
one or more working clubs with good

Clay and Jackson will have done like
